I have a GIF in a popup, captured with SnagIt. It is reduced
and, therefore, a bit fuzzy. I want the user to click a spot on the
fuzzy popup and jump to another popup that shows that section of
the graphic with an explanation of how that section works. The
second popup would not be reduced and more readable.
That's my goal. How can I do that? (I'm working in
v7.)
Hi Harooki2,
I'm just a beginner and also using v7 but I had a problem
with graphic fuzziness too. My graphic was a .bmp and when I
double-clicked to change the size in the graphic editor, it became
fuzzy in the compiled .chm file. Is this how you changed the size
of your graphic?
So, I restored the graphic size to its original size and then
used "Resize" in the RoboHelp toolbox to reduce it. This fixed my
fuzziness problem in the output file. Your image map would probably
be cleared up if you added it to a "resized" graphic. That's what I
did anyway.
I'm doing all my graphic work in SnagIt (I haven't tried the
RH screen capture tool yet). From what I know, the GIF format may
be the best for retaining quality when reduced. In any case, I
first saved my graphic as a GIF in SnagIt and then reduced it
there. If there is a better way to retain quality, I'd like to know
about it.
As far as my question is concerned, I'm using image maps to
jump to my closeup view of the sections. I guess I kind of answered
my own question. I've been away from RH for awhile and have
forgotten how to do a lot of things.
You're probably better off saving your SnagIt capture to a
.snag file, which allows you to layer callouts, etc. to the base
capture, and to return to make further edits as needed. Save the
results as .gif files whenever you choose.
SnagIt also has an effect called "Spotlight & Magnify,"
which you might look into.
